PARSIPPANY
— The Whole Foods coming to the township is expected be part of a multi-store
complex built on undeveloped land just off Route 46 west, a company spokesman
said Tuesday.

While
a timetable hasn't been set for its opening, the spokesman said, the store will be
about 40,000 square feet, or about the same size as Whole Foods' Madison
location.

Parsippany's
planning office, however, said it still hasn't received any applications or
correspondence regarding the plan. The land — a wooded area at the corner of
Route 46 west and Waterview Boulevard — is owned by Bellemeade Development
Corporation, the planning office said.

Bellemeade
officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

The
company spokesman said the planned Parsippany store, across the street from the
township police department, would be considered mid-sized by the standards of
Whole Foods, which has a 70,000-square-foot location in Paramus among its 11
New Jersey stores.

"I
believe there's three or four different stores going into that area," the
Whole Foods' spokesman said.
